The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has ranked organizations across the country based on their purchases of green power. The top five purchasers include Intel Inc., Kohl’s Department Stores, Whole Foods Market, the city of Houston, Texas, and Dell Inc. The total green power purchased in the last year by the top 50 organizations totals 12.3 billion kilowatt hours and was derived from wind, solar, biomass, biogas, and geothermal sources. The green power ranking is updated quarterly, and includes businesses, local, state, and federal government organizations, schools, colleges, and universities that are members of EPA’s Green Power Partnership.
